According to Kobach, that proof comes in the form of 6,450 voters in New Hampshire who registered to vote on the day of the 2016 election using an out-of-state drivers license. Data from the New Hampshire secretary of state (who is also a member of Trump’s voter fraud commission) shows that 5,526 of those voters had not subsequently obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license by Aug. 30.

To Kobach, that suggests were never actually residents of New Hampshire, and hence cast their votes illegally.
In fact, there’s a far simpler explanation: Most of those voters were college students from out of state, who are perfectly allowed to register and vote in New Hampshire under state law — with or without a New Hampshire driver’s license.
